Andalusia Archaeological Mosaic Seville Spring Tessera Tesserae
FEATURES IN THESE COLLECTIONS
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning mosaic print, hailing from the ancient Roman city of Dos Hermanas in Seville, Andalusia, Spain, showcases the intricate artistry and craftsmanship of the Roman era. Dated back to the 2nd-3rd centuries A.D., this mosaic spring is now proudly displayed at the Archaeological Museum of Seville. The central figure of the mosaic is a beautiful female portrait, her serene face framed by lush, curling locks. She stands before a spring, her outstretched hands invitingly offering a drink. The spring, adorned with intricate floral designs and graceful dolphins, is a testament to the Romans' appreciation for the natural world and their mastery of mosaic art. The mosaic is made up of thousands of tiny, colorful tesserae, each one carefully placed by skilled artisans. The intricate patterns and designs, which include geometric shapes, flowers, and marine life, are a feast for the eyes. The discovery of this mosaic spring provides a glimpse into the daily life of the ancient Romans in Spain, as well as their artistic and cultural influences. It is a reminder of the rich history and heritage that Andalusia, and Spain as a whole, has to offer. This mosaic is not just a work of art, but a piece of history that continues to captivate and inspire visitors to the Archaeological Museum of Seville.
